Christian Science was brought to my notice by a dear friend who had realized the power of Truth over error. She faithfully tried to impress upon me that all who wished to be free could be. I was a great sufferer for many years from ills too numerous to mention, and finally, in addition to the others, I was seized with a mental trouble which seemed to crush my every hope. I had tried several doctors and all kinds of medicines, all in vain. For years I dieted for stomach disorder, but as Mrs. Eddy says, "either here or hereafter, suffering or Science must destroy all illusions regarding life and mind" (Science and Health, p. 296), and I came into a knowledge of the truth through suffering.

One day, when it seemed to me that death could be my only relief, I picked up a Sentinel to read while I was waiting for my husband to come for dinner, and while reading the testimonies, I realized a great change. I went to the table knowing that I could eat anything I wanted. The members of my family thought I was not right in my mind and told me I would surely suffer for what I was eating. This happened in May, 1907, and I wish I could tell of the many wonderful proofs of the power of Truth that I have experienced since that time. This one was the first, and it was grand to me, such relief came instantly.
